Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com.

We'll start with Steve Palazzolo of Pro Football Focus rating the NFL quarterbacks through the first eight weeks of the season (with 2018 performance also factored in). Despite his outstanding play in recent games that has rekindled MVP talk, the Packers' Aaron Rodgers ranks only fifth on the PFF list.

Palazzolo writes:

5. AARON RODGERS, GREEN BAY PACKERS

Rodgers has shown flashes of his old dominant self in recent weeks, and he remains one of the league’s best at peppering the field with big-time throws while avoiding turnover-worthy plays. The difference from his MVP-caliber seasons is his ability to maximize the expected throws while avoiding negative plays (taking too many sacks), and that’s still a work in progress. This season, Rodgers has the No. 5 overall grade in the league at 87.3, and he’s done it in a new offensive system with a makeshift group of pass-catchers since Davante Adams went down due to injury. Rodgers remains among the league’s best but still a tick below the peak levels that tore through the league at various points in his career.
